Itinerary

1. Maya Bay in Koh Phi Phi is a tropical paradise known for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and stunning limestone cliffs that create a dramatic backdrop. This idyllic spot became internationally famous after featuring in the movie "The Beach" starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The bay's white sandy beach is ideal for relaxation, while the surrounding waters offer excellent snorkeling opportunities with vibrant marine life. Accessible only by boat, Maya Bay remains a must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventurers alike. Feel like checking it out for real someday? Please note: Maya Bay will be closed from August 1 to October 1 for government-led environmental rehabilitation. As an alternative, we’ve selected another beautiful island for photoshoots and snorkeling. Thank you for your kind understanding.

• 5Prepare yourself for bumpy waves, huge crowds everywhere and aggressive monkeys!

  Extremely crowded experience but a must do tour nonetheless. The tour guide was great at managing the large group we had. Prepare yourself for bumpy waves, huge crowds everywhere and aggressive monkeys! Enjoy!

  Very organized and prompt. Tour guides are essentially babysitters because so many patrons refuse to follow directions. Our tour guide, Nadia, was great but no nonsense. If you willfully disobey directions, you will have an issue with her. Our entire family liked her and thought she was hilarious.

• 3A disappointing experience

  Firstly the positives ... our guide for the day was very enthisiastic and humerous, the lunch was very good and the scenery was stunning. Now the negatives ... our transport was half an hour late and was crammed, uncomfortable and barely able to accommodate so many passengers. The transfer to the boat was dragged out and the boat itself was definitely too full. I was unable to sit next to my wife. Two of the stops were a complete waste of time - brief stops at a barely seen cave and a beach with no monkeys ( we didn't disembark). You are unable to see very much from this type of vessel. Maya beach is grossly overrun with too many boats and tourists - why the Thai government do not restrict visitors is beyond me. On our return we were told the transport was delayed due to traffic and would be 20 minutes late. At this point we left the tour and made our own way back with unsuprisingly little traffic. We did enjoy the day but I would not recommend using this company.

• 5Tour of the phi phi island by speedboat from Ao nang

  We booked a very last minute a tour of the Phi islands by speedboat. The journey started in Ao nang and then to the Phi Phi islands. We visited various famous places like Maya bay and bamboo island. With very professional guidance and instructions. The crew supplied us with water fruit soda and chips. The lunch was a buffé located on Phi Phi islands with three different Thai dishes, the dishes were good and filling. Overall the day was very nice, sun was shining the water was crystal clear. The tour picked us up at 8:00am and dropped us off at 17:30 so a perfect full days trip for the price of 50$ in my opinion
